I know little about football but I do know this inventive book has kept my two sons engaged since we bought it on the strength of a top recommendation in their football mag. Others here have mentioned the flaps, secret reports and card game. It is clearly produced by someone who knows their audience very well and how to keep them coming back for more.
The reading level is a bit of a challenge for my youngest but I'm just pleased to see a book in front of him. More of the same please for when they've exhausted this one.

What a stunning book for a young fan. We brought it for our son's birthday and it's not left his side since. Now he's not just telling his dad the best team in the world - he's got all the stats to prove it too. His sister got her Egyptology book but this is its equal in every way! Only problem now is, all his friends are coming round to enter their top teams on the book's hugely impressive web-site.

Project World XI

The football book sector has upped its game here.
Project World XI asks readers to select the best team from 50 of the top footballers in the world today. The book is unique, unusual and different, one of those with flaps, wheels you rotate to get more info, envelopes with postcards and assorted origami style fold-outs. 50 player cards to arrange in 6 formations to get your best team. My 10-yearold worked the secret password to the website quickly enough but will be scanning football info well into the New Year before he registers his best team. Big problem - the stats say Ronaldo but he wants Messi.
Cracking book and worth every one of its 5 stars.

This book is really very well thought out and a first of its kind as far as I know. It's about turning 50 of the top players in world football into the best team but (like other popular books) it's full of envelopes, flaps, information wheels, etc. My favourite is a pop-up of Gordon Banks' famous save from Pele. The book ends in a large layout of a pitch where you try out 50 player cards in up to six different formations. Then you use a secret pass to log it onto their web site and try to match the team selected by a real top coach. I bought it for a 12 year-old but it's been picked up and argued over by everyone (at least every fan) who's come into the house. I'm not totally sure it needs the back story but it hangs together and doesn't intrude on the sheer indulgence of attractively packaged football information. Cleverly designed and extremely well produced, probably quite subtly educational too. Definitely to be encouraged.
